I know people have been banging on about the lower VFX budget this season, but it's really noticeable that we haven't seen a single picture or shot of the Kosmos-1 spacecraft. Not even a still photo in one of the newsreels, unless I missed it.

Are there any concept drawings for it?

There's a possibility that Kuragin reused old Mars-94 hardware, and there's almost certainly spare parts around the place, so it's not even unreasonable that they could reuse assets from Season 3 with a couple of new emblems and some black and white tiles painted on (since that's what a lay audience understands a heatshield looks like)

>!There's narrative and budget reasons we don't see Kosmos-1 skip off Titan's atmosphere, but surely an establishing shot of ST and K1 talking could have had the camera fly from one to the other?!<

I had to remove Citrix Workspace from my machine today in order to upgrade to Fedora 44 - is there any reason Citrix still hasn't got around to updating the dependency on webkit2gtk3? It's also been a problem on Ubuntu since 24.04, but there's apparently a built-in workaround in the Ubuntu deb package, which has a copy of the outdated library bundled in, which wasn't done for the rpm package. I was hoping this might get fixed in v2601, but no luck.

It seems this has been reported for months over on the official forum, but there's been no response from any staff there. Anybody know what gives?

I've yet to try the manual workaround suggested in this post, but it seems a bit absurd to have to work around something like this when using proper enterprise software.
